Abstract
Description
- Meeting state recall is a process for recording and saving information regarding a previous meeting and restoring that information at a later time. In some situations, meeting rooms may be shared among multiple groups and/or projects. For example, a company may have a limited number of conference rooms and so different teams must schedule the conference room. In this conventional strategy, teams may need to set up the conference room, spend time reviewing previous meeting information, and deciding where to resume. At the end of the meeting, time must be spent capturing transient notes, such as those written on a whiteboard, updating task assignments, and resetting the conference room for the next team. This often causes problems because the conventional strategy wastes otherwise productive time at the beginning and end of the meetings. For example, a team may wind up having to re-write notes on a whiteboard or determining where in a presentation they left off at the beginning of a meeting and copying down notes from the whiteboard at the end.
- Meeting state recall may be provided. This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter. Nor is this Summary intended to be used to limit the claimed subject matter's scope.
- Meeting state recall may be provided. A meeting context may be saved at the end of and/or during an event. The meeting context may comprise, for example, a hardware configuration, a software configuration, a recording of the meeting, and/or data associated with a subject of the meeting. The meeting context may be associated with an ongoing project and may be restored at a subsequent meeting associated with the ongoing project.
- Both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description provide examples and are explanatory only. Accordingly, the foregoing general description and the following detailed description should not be considered to be restrictive. Further, features or variations may be provided in addition to those set forth herein. For example, embodiments may be directed to various feature combinations and sub-combinations described in the detailed description.
- The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this disclosure, illustrate various embodiments of the present invention. In the drawings:
-
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a meeting environment; -
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a meeting state recall user interface; -
FIG. 3 is a flow chart of a method for providing meeting state recall; and -
FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a system including a computing device. - The following detailed description refers to the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the following description to refer to the same or similar elements. While embodiments of the invention may be described, modifications, adaptations, and other implementations are possible. For example, substitutions, additions, or modifications may be made to the elements illustrated in the drawings, and the methods described herein may be modified by substituting, reordering, or adding stages to the disclosed methods. Accordingly, the following detailed description does not limit the invention. Instead, the proper scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims.
- Meeting state recall may be provided. Consistent with embodiments of the present invention, notes, attendance records, task lists, presentations, and other contextual information prepared as part of a meeting may be saved. For example, documents may be scanned, recordings of the meeting may be transcribed, presentation progress may be stored, and/or electronic whiteboard notes may be captured. During later meetings, the saved information may be loaded and displayed in order to configure the meeting location to the saved state of the end of the last meeting. The information may be tied to a calendaring application, for example, allowing users to review and update information associated with previous meetings and/or schedule subsequent meetings. Hardware device states may be stored independently of the specific device, such as a particular whiteboard or projector, so that the meeting context may be restored in a different location, such as a separate conference room.
- Tools may be provided for documenting and/or interacting with information about a meeting topic. For example, a user interface console may allow users to post an agenda, keep track of meeting attendees, document task requests, and/or take notes. Meeting environments, such as conference rooms, may be equipped with sensor technologies and large format display technologies allowing meeting events to be transcribed, pictures and/or video to be recorded, and/or device states to be captured. Thus, the meeting environment may comprise digital devices within the physical space, such as a multi-touch surface table, a projection system, and/or an electronic whiteboard. A meeting state recall system may record the contents of those devices and how they may be manipulated over the course of the meeting. After the meeting has ended, users may schedule another meeting regarding the same project and call upon the previous meeting context to repopulate the device states at the beginning of the new meeting.
- The users may come in for their next meeting and the devices return to the state they were in at the end of the last meeting. For example, a presentation that was being projected on a projector in the room may return to the slide it was on at the end of the last meeting. Displayed notes may be brought back up, such as digital sticky notes from a brainstorm session, on a digital surface.
- Furthermore, because each meeting associated with a project may be recorded, users may scroll through recorded states to go back to a previous state within the same and/or any of the previous meetings and the devices in the room may repopulate back to that previous state. For example, if someone wants to go to back to a point that someone else made earlier in a previous meeting, the meeting state from that time may be restored and branch off from there. Transcriptions may associate recorded comments with their speaker and documents may be associated with their author(s) and/or editor(s).

FIG. 3 is a flow chart setting forth the general stages involved in amethod 300 consistent with an embodiment of the invention for providing meeting state recall.Method 300 may be implemented using acomputing device 400 as described in more detail below with respect toFIG. 4 . Ways to implement the stages ofmethod 300 will be described in greater detail below.Method 300 may begin at startingblock 305 and proceed to stage 310 wherecomputing device 400 may record an event. - From
stage 310, wherecomputing device 400 recorded the event,method 300 may advance to stage 320 wherecomputing device 400 may transcribe the event recording. For example, the meeting environment may comprise an audio and/or video recording device. The recording may be processed by a speech recognition system operative to convert spoken input into machine readable and/or digital text, such as a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based speech recognition system. The recording may also be processed by a voice and/or speaker recognition system operative to identify speakers according to the acoustic features of each speaker's voice. Each speaker's words may, for example, be associated with a team member of a project and indexed for efficient searching. - Once
computing device 400 transcribed the recording instage 320,method 300 may continue to stage 330 wherecomputing device 400 may send the transcription to at least one user associated with the event. For example,computing device 400 may e-mail the meeting transcription to a team member who did not attend the meeting and/or a manager associated with the project. Consistent with embodiments of the invention, the transcription may be made available to a user via a network, such as on a shared network drive or a web server. Other state information about the event, such as hardware device states, notes, presentations, and/or other documents associated with the event may be stored with the transcription and/or sent to a user. For example, the meeting state information may be stored as part of a calendaring system and accessed through past and/or future scheduled meetings associated with the same project/topic. - After computing
device 400 sends the transcription to the user instage 330,method 300 may proceed to stage 340 wherecomputing device 400 may capture a meeting state. The meeting state may comprise a hardware configuration, a software configuration, and/or an contextual information. For example,computer 140 may be usingprojector 130 to display an electronic presentation.Computer 140 may capture the state ofprojector 130, including hardware configuration information such as brightness, resolution, focus, etc.Computer 140 may associate the hardware configuration information with software configuration information such as active applications (e.g. an electronic presentation application and/or a digital whiteboard application) and/or contextual information such as which slide of the presentation is currently displayed. Another example may comprise receiving a digital note on an electronic display, such aswhiteboard 110, and associating the note with a user, such as the note's author or a user assigned to a task related to the note. Similarly, a hardcopy document may be scanned into an electronic form and associated with a user associated with the subject of the meeting. - After computing
device 400 captures the device state instage 340,method 300 may proceed to stage 350 wherecomputing device 400 may maintain an attendance record. For example,computer 140 may receive a user input comprising an attendance list and/or may access a calendar application comprising a list of accepting attendees. Consistent with embodiments of the invention,computing device 400 may use the transcription produced atstage 310 and/or a speaker recognition system to identify attendees present at the meeting. Further consistent with embodiments of the invention,computing device 400 may use a location sharing system operative to share users' locations with other users to determine who is present in the meeting location. An example location sharing system may comprise the system described in commonly owned co-pending patent application having Ser. No. 12/471,073, attorney docket number 14917.1221US01/MS326435.01, and entitled “Timed Location Sharing,” which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. - After computing
device 400 maintains the attendance record instage 350,method 300 may proceed to stage 360 wherecomputing device 400 may restore the captured device state. The stored meeting state information may be retrieved by computingdevice 400 operative to control another device such aswhiteboard 110 and/orprojector 130. For example, according to the state information,computer 140 may open a presentation file in an electronic presentation application, advance to a slide in the presentation comprising the last slide viewed during the previous meeting, and display the slide viaprojector 130. Other meeting context information may be restored and/or displayed, such as audio/video recordings of at least one previous meeting, a task list that may comprise a status of at least one task (e.g. not started, in progress, completed) and/or an assignment of the task to a team member, a timeline that may comprise information about progress over the course of previous meetings, such as a Gantt chart and/or previews ofmain display area 205 as saved at various times during the project, and/or document revisions. Revisions to notes and/or documents may be saved as part of the timeline and may be restored in response to a user command, such as throughcontext history interface 250. - Consistent with embodiments of the invention,
projector 130 may comprise a different device than the projector used at the previous meeting. For example, the previous meeting may have been held in a similarly equipped conference room using a different projection system, butcomputer 140 may open the presentation and display it onprojector 130 available in the location being used for the current meeting. Other device states may be similarly restored despite being physically different devices from the devices on which the state was captured. In addition to restoring device states as they existed at the previous meeting,computing device 400 may prepare the meeting environment for the current meeting, such as displayingagenda 220, a task list, and/or a transcription of the previous meeting, such as intranscription display area 230. Oncecomputing device 400 restores the device state instage 340,method 300 may then end atstage 365. - Consistent with embodiments of the invention,
computing device 400 may be further operative to schedule a subsequent meeting and/or analyze meeting efficiency. For example, previous meeting states may be reviewed in response to scheduling a next meeting. Open task items and/or topics discussed at the previous meeting may be prepared into proposed agenda items for the next meeting. Meeting state information may also be analyzed for patterns, such as often beginning with discussions on the same topic. Another example may comprise scanning the transcript for keywords, such as “next time,” “next week,” and/or “later” indicating topics intended to be discussed at subsequent meetings and providing reminders regarding these topics. Documents, notes, presentation, transcripts, and/or other information associated with the project and/or the users associated with the project may be searched according to scheduled discussion topics and displayed during the subsequent meeting. For example, a design document regarding a particular feature under development in a software project last reviewed several meetings prior may be recalled and displayed when the feature is on a subsequent meeting's agenda for further discussion. - Further consistent with embodiments of the invention,
computing device 400 may analyze a list of unfinished tasks associated with the project and assign a user associated with the project to at least one of those tasks.Computing device 400 may also request and/or receive status updates from users associated with the project and update the task list accordingly. The updated status may then be displayed, such as inmain display area 205, during a subsequent meeting. - An embodiment consistent with the invention may comprise a system for providing meeting state recall. The system may comprise a memory storage and a processing unit coupled to the memory storage. The processing unit may be operative to save a meeting context, associate the meeting context with at least one project, and restore the meeting context at a later meeting associated with the at least one project.
- Another embodiment consistent with the invention may comprise a system for providing meeting state recall. The system may comprise a memory storage and a processing unit coupled to the memory storage. The processing unit may be operative to record each of a plurality of events, transcribe the recording for each of the plurality of events, send a copy of the transcription to at least one attendee at each of the plurality of events, capture, during each of the plurality of events, the state of at least one display device associated with each of the plurality of events, maintain an attendance record for a plurality of attendees at each of the plurality of events, and restore the state of the at least one display device to the captured state at the start of a subsequent event of the plurality of events.
- Yet another embodiment consistent with the invention may comprise a system for providing meeting state recall. The system may comprise a memory storage and a processing unit coupled to the memory storage. The processing unit may be operative to transcribe a recording of a meeting associated with a project, identify at least one speaker on the recording, capture at least one image of the meeting, save an attendee list of the meeting, save at least one open task item associated with the project, assign the at least one open task item to a user, capture the state of at least one display device operative to display information associated with the project, schedule at least one second meeting at a later time, prepare an agenda for the at least one future meeting, and at the time for the at least one second meeting, repopulate the at least one display device with the captured state.
